American Horror Story, Season 6,. Episode 6: Chapter 6

After the last episode I wondered how this show was going
to continue?

Well, remember how the whole format was a documentary?
Well that documentary was super super super amazing popular and made a vast
amount of money

Enter Sidney, completely amoral TV exec who wants to make
a sequel. A Reality show sequel. He wants to gather all the old participants,
both the people who actually experienced it (Shelby, Matt, Lee) and the actors
who played them (Audrey, Dominic, Monet and Rory – who played the dead guy
Edward Mott). There’s also Agnes – who played The Butcher.

Of course, Sidney (and his sidekick Diana) don’t believe
in ghosts and monsters – but the TV audience generally believes that Lee got
away with murder – they think she killed Mason. Part of Sidney’s plan for drama
in his murder house Big Brother is to get everyone so riled up that they can
get Lee to confess. On top of that they manufacture all kinds of spooky scares
for people and their hidden cameras

Oh and the show is scheduled to happen on the Blood Moon

Can I say now that absolutely everyone deserves to die,
but especially Shelby, Matt and Lee who really really really really have no
excuse to ever ever ever go back to that House. Why would anyone go back to
that House? Why?! WHY WHY WHY WHY? WHYYYYYY?!

There is no excuse for this! None?!

In the time since then there has been some drama revealed
in the lead up to the show and when they all arrive in the House (WHY WOULD YOU
DO THIS?!)

Lee has made a lot of money selling a book on her
experiences and is looking to try and clear her name. She has issues with
Monet, the actress playing her because she thinks the portrayal is what cast
her as a murderer. While Monet hates her because she thinks the experience of
playing Lee is what drove her to become an alcoholic

And of course Sidney is very happy to try and sneak her
alcohol as much as they can or at least turn a blind eye to her drinking
because they’re evil like that

While Shelby had an affair with Dominic, the man who played Matt, so there’s
all kinds of drama going on there. Especially since Sidney, who is the worst,
invites Dominic to join despite promising Shelby he wouldn’t

Audrey and Rory fell in love and got married and are
joyously obsessed with each other. But Audrey is definitely sensitive and self
conscious about her age with a much younger husband. Shelby being Shelby pokes
that sore spot good and proper

Agnes… Agnes isn’t invited. Because Agnes had a complete
obsessive breakdown playing the Butcher, is obsessed with Shelby and inclined
to run around screaming incoherently and attacking people with a cleaver. She
has been expressly forbidden by restraining order from approaching the set.
Something Sidney did expressly to provoke her

Did I mention that he’s the worst? Because he’s the worst.

Also there’s a collection of dead pigs that no-one put
there.

Even Diana realises he’s the worst after an “accident” at
the construction site has a man die by chainsaw. Sidney refuses to spend more
than a minute worrying about that and she decide she is OUT

Diane is a very sensible woman.

She leaves, recording a video log of her moment of utter
sanity – until the pig monster in the backseat crabs her

The footage is found. Her body is not

This is where the show tells us that this part of the
season was never aired - everyone (but one who had better not be Sidney) dies
and only the recordings were found.

In the House we have more spooky goings on and drama
between the characters until Rory is alone. Rory whose name begins with an R.
Rory in the house with the two serial killers ghosts who just needed one more
death of a person whose name begins with “R” to finish their set. Bye bye Rory

I’m surprised at the pace of this… I mean first episode
in the house and Diana and Rory are both dead already? That was quick

As for the concept? Nah. No way no way at all would
Shelby, Lee and Matt go back to that house on the Blood Moon. That’s literally
suicide.

I know a lot of people are annoyed by the whole “only one
survived” and I can’t say I think it’s a good idea to throw that Spoiler in
there… but this show does the homage thing in different seasons. This? This is
a survival horror. Only one surviving (or none surviving at all) is a given to
me.
